Lavender Diamond + John Waters = X-mas wish come true

One's so squeaky clean that they make you feel sort of dirty. The other's so dirty that he's sort of clean. According to Pitchfork, L.A.'s peace-mongering, wide-eyed folk-rock collective Lavender Diamond (fronted by the tooth-achingly adorable Becky Stark) are spending their holidays with B-more's dirtiest old man, director/raconteur John Waters (he of the tattooed pencil moustache). Idealists and perverts unite!

They're joining together for a series of holiday-themed shows that will most likely include music, merriment and mature conversation about the state of the world. And genitalia. And poop.
